Me and Honcho

Honcho
the Van

Honcho is a 2018 Ford Transit van (148" wheelbase, medium roof) built to pursue life on the open road. The van’s functional design and comfortable features include an all-wood interior, custom bed and work station, rechargeable solar panels, dual fan cooling system, kitchen with copper sink and gas stovetop, and built-in shower. Sitting on all-terrain tires with a two-and-a-half-inch suspension lift, Honcho has the ability to turn any afternoon cruise into an off-road adventure.

Life on the road isn't always glamorous, but that doesn't mean you can't live like a king--a nomad king, that is. Honcho is equipped with all the essential ameneities you need--not want--for life on the road, including plenty of space with built-in cabinets, bookshelves and rear garage storage, as well as a pantry, microwave and refrigerator.

Mid Atlantic States

From Savannah's moss-draped oak trees to the cobblestone streets of Charleston, the South Atlantic states offer a comination of historic charm and laid-back living. Beware: stay at Carolina's pristine beaches for too long, and you'll be tempted to exchange your desk for a hammock and your work pen for a fishing pole.

I hope you can get out and explore some of these beautiful areas. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Great Smoky Mountains

I had originally planned to explore the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in March 2020, but the coronavirus derailed those plans. I tried again in December just as a winter storm blanketed the area in a fresh coat of snow. Even though the Smokies are the most visited national park in the country, I was fortunate to see the breathtaking views with far less traffic in the winter months.

The Berkshires

I’ve been exploring the Berkshires in the western part of Massachusetts and northwest Connecticut. The Mohawk Trail from Greenfield to North Adams was one of those memorable drives I won’t soon forget. Located at the halfway point is the Mohawk Trail State Forest, an old-growth forest that boasts New England’s oldest and tallest trees: A 170-foot white pine and a hemlock estimated around 500 years old.

Gettysburg National Military Park

The skies were grey and overcast, a similar shade to the uniforms worn by the Confederates who arrived at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. I took Honcho on the self-guided auto tour with stops at 16 different locations throughout the battlefield. There were more monuments than could be counted, sent by states from the north and south to memorialize the soldiers who lost their lives during the three-day battle.
